The College Basketball Schwach Indicator, Grouped by Conference: Feb. 4

Having quite enjoyed Jordan Schwarz's Schwach Indicator rankings, I found myself wanting to see how all the teams in a conference fared at a glance. So I decided to do it myself—what follows are groupings of college basketball teams by conference with their Schwach Indicator rankings.

I also ranked each conference by averaging the Schwach totals of each team and noted the change in Schwach standings for each team from the previous week. Finally, I indicated the biggest jumps and drops in ranking for teams in each conference, plus listed the top teams of each conference on one slide to compare the elite teams across conferences.

Thanks once again to Jordan for his work with the Schwach Indicator. Enjoy!
